Learning guitar begins with three pillars: how to hold the instrument, how to tune it, and how to form basic chords.

• Tuning means adjusting each string to the correct pitch, usually E-A-D-G-B-E from low to high.
• Open chords like E minor, A minor, C, G, and D are the building blocks of countless songs.
• A metronome helps you develop steady timing from the very beginning.

These basics unlock the door to playing real music within just a few weeks.

Private guitar tuition in Dover usually runs at £30/h on average.

This rate can vary depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (complete novice through to experienced player)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (grades, degrees, professional work)
• Lesson length and frequency (30 minutes, 60 minutes, weekly or fortnightly)
• The lesson format (via video call, face-to-face, or at a music school)

Booking a package of lessons often brings the hourly rate down. Ask about introductory offers to find the right tutor risk-free.

In guitar terms, 80/20 means prioritising the techniques and chords you'll actually use most.

• Core chords like G, C, D, E, and A appear in the majority of popular songs.
• The pentatonic scale is the 20% of theory that unlocks 80% of lead guitar solos.
• Drummers and singers rely on guitarists who keep steady time.

Apply this rule by asking: "Will I use this technique in real songs?"
